JOB'S RUSE.
A New Et)sland winter fvn
-the
hemlock forests all drajedith ermine
fringes of siiijW the hills and tiie valleys
white as if they were coated with pearl,
while from the farm-house chimneys in
tilt- jnay thicketji of leartess maples under
the rucks a blue spiral of sumke went
wreathini; and curiinjt up into the steely
January sky, end the sunset, reflected on
the nivraid tiny window-panes of the
western front, made an orani?' sparkle of
brightness that supplied the otherwise
I ckinu element of
olor to the frigid i
landseajte.
Farmer Vesterbr'V had jiL-t bnuj:ht
an armful of -now-crusted loirs from the
woil-pile at the north end of the house
throwing them down on the ample stone ;
hearth with a nui like a small earth
ijtiake, when Sibyl Ilarrimrtun startel
up.
" Five o'clock ! t 'h, I hadn't an idea it
was ti late. I must be rin.''
"Allow me to accompany you. Mi
Harrintrti n."
" You will let me see vou home, SibvlT' i
Captain Meredith and Max Crossley j
i both spoke at once, and rose simultane
: ouslv but Sibyl shook her head.
" I would prefer to walk alone," she
i said, gayly.
: "And aliout the sleighing party t.
! morrow night?" sai! Max anxiously,
i I have half pruuisoi Captain Mere
! dith." said the viilaiw beauty, her long-
eye-l;Lshes drooping and a delicate sliade
I of ne suffusing her cheek.
; "P.ut, Sibvl. I thought it was an un
derstood matter between you and me,
three pxsl weeks air ! Max exc!aimed
with rontrscinc tirows.
' " Was it ? I am sure I had forgotten it '.
Max was silent. Captain Meredith's
sm-s'th, softly-intoned voice tilled up the
silem-e.
"I ex pert no promises," hesaid, gal
lantly ; " but if I am not punctual to the
hour and the sjsit. Miss Harrinon may
draw her own conclusions."
; And Sibyl went out, her light footstejis
i making a low, pi -asutit music on the brit-
tie snow.
she was very pretty, this gn7.elle-eyed
j New Enirlanti liamsel. Max Crosley had
! loved her ever since they were children
; toirether, and Captain Meredith, who had
i
I i-oiue down to pass the Chris'mas holi
! days with his cousins, the Westbrooks,
; had been caught in the meshes of her
I bronze-gold hair and the interlacing net
' work of the lashes that overhung the p ir-ple-I'lue
eyes, and had prolonueii his vi it
, into January.
j " l'm my won!, she's a regular heau
! ty," said the captain, staring through the
! tiny window panes at the retreating foot-
i steis ..f Mi; llarriimton.
; Max Crfissley !oike! quickly np at him I
S as he would have particularly liked to j
J knvk him over the andirons in among j
i the !gs; but perhaps he thought better I
f it, for he refmined from any demon- j
strat'.on.
" A leauty, went on tiie captain ; " and
it's a thousand pities she should le
thron away on any of the country
pumpkins who teiMate anuing this wil-
lern.-SK Job. yon young villian, ar- thfwe I

Farmer Westerbrook s's hired lxy. who
just came in to warm his empurpled
hands at the merry red blaze, l.s.ked
glum.

" Don't worry," hoarsely bawled Job.
" Mis Sibyl wont watt Very ton afore

The captain danced np and down the
barn floor in an ecstacy of raae as Job
disappeared over the crest of the hill.
There was no use calling for help. He
knew very well that if he possessed the
lungs of Bore-as he could not have made
any one hear. He sat shivering down
on the hay, starting nervously at the
sound of Kicking Billy's feet among his
smiir bed of straw, and thinking how dis
agreeably a bar of moonlight which
streamed on down from a crack in 'he
apex of the roof rse:ubied a tall, white
figure standing under the center beam.
He could almost fancy the rope round

temples, even in the freezing atmosphere
of the barn chamber.

" Yes, al wa .rs," she answered.
" Je-rusalem " said Farmer Wester
brook. It was past 10 o'clock at night, and the
old gentleman had comeout, as he always
did the last thing before retiring to rest,
to see that Job had not set the burn ou j
fire, and that the dumb members of the
family were all safe and comfortable. " I
do believe that's old Mike Westerbrook 's
ghost come to life again, poundin' like all
possessed on the barn chamber floor?"
" It's me-e-e ! it's me-e-e V brawled the
captain, forgetting all the nicer distinc
tions of grammar in his delight at the
prospects of release; "unfasten the trap
door : let me out !"
Slo-t ly the farmer lifted the ladder and
adjusted it in its place. With rheumatic
awk Tartness he climbed the creaking
rounds and undid the book from its hasp.
" How in all creation came you here?"
he demanded. "Why, I thought you
i was out a sleigh-ridin' with the gals "

Job gasped the infuriated captain, his
teeth chattering with mingled rage and
cold. "I won't stand this sort of thing.
Ill leave the place to-morrow."
" As you please," said the farmer, to
whom the prospect of kiting his guest
waa not altogether unpleasant. "I'm
dreadful jr.rry this !faooliI have hapien-

So will I," irnashed the captain. "I'll
break every bone in hi body."

"Barbara!" called again grandpa's
quivering voice.
"I'm coining," said Barbara, just to
quiet her conscience, for she knew very
well grandpa could not hear her.
" I just want to finish tiiis chapter, and
besides grandma thinks you go out t
too muclk," added the naughty nirl to her- t
self. ' i
Then she went on with her reading, 1
but she did not enjoy it any more, so she !
put it away, and went to see. what he
wanted.
" Grand pa called you to go down to j
the store with him," said grandma. " He j
wanted some pep'mint drops for hiscold, '
but he's so forgetful I don't like to trust i
him alone, and I had to let h;:n take a ;

" I O, grandma, just see that robin in ;

" I don't know, said Grandma Grey, go-

troubled, or something."
" O, grandpa," faltered Barbara, " what ,
is the matter?"
" You haven't lost the money. I hope." ;

But the old man did not answer. He

" Well," said grandma, wiping her eyes
on her apron, " you are too old to go to

lady smiled through her tears, and took
up her knitting.
Poor B irbara ! she felt as if she could
never be happy again. For, notwith
standing her heedless ways she had a
tender heart, and dearly, loved her grand
parents who had taken her. a feeble baby
from her dying mother's arms, and been

ruies they have read in books. And this
is the very essence of every system of
ir! manajrement. Tiie horse's iastimt
tti be co nfortable is a guide no h-. t;r
than a man's to proper physical condi
tions. A stall four feet six inches by eid.t
feet is not large enough for a horse of the
average size. When he lies down he wi'.l
be cramped, and cramped r-st is never
healrhfu . A stall ought to If five feet
by ten for a horse from fourteen to fifteen
hands high. Confined within a narrower
space than this, he is likely to rub either
his head or his tail, and many a hors? ;s
irrit ited into a habit of kicking by this
particular discomfort. And then the
thoughtless owner wonders why the
horse should kick, and proceeds to cnr
him by making him ti!i more uncom
fortable. It is important, too.that the
floor of a stable should be perfectly level.
A stable ought not to he constructed as a

An unclean animal cannot be comfort- !
able. Drainage, of course, is the first
subject to consider, for a stable where
the smallest quanity of foul water
stands, to say nothing of pools of it, is
offensive to a horse as well as to a man.
A hostler i ho docs not have his stable
well drained has no right to complain if
his horse-igrow old early, liecome vicious,
or get sick. And ventilation Ls quite us
importont as drainage. An experienced
stableman has ventured tiie opnion
that fewer horses are foundered by w hat
they eat or drink than by exposure to
draughs while they test. His atablesare
so ventilate! that the currents of air nev
er touches the horses. The stalls are not
ventilated from below, but a!ove the
horses' heads
The same general principle of having
regard first of all for the comfort of the
animal gives the key to the proper man
agement of the questions of fond and
drink. The horseman of experience is
n.it so unwilliiiging to trust an antinals
own appetite as the novice is. A horse;
that is overheated should, of course, have ;
a blanket, but no rule can be laid down
for blanketing unless the violence of "lie ;
work the horse does, the weather, ali i
the comfort of the stable are all Liki-n i
into account. The purpose is to prevent
the animal's taking cold, anil good judg
ment is tiie only guide. But every horse .
should have a bLinket, as every man
should have an overcoat. When a horse
is overheated it is not prudent to ail'.w :
him to drink an unnatural quantity of
yen cohl water, but many a poor beast
surfers from thirst bv the mistaken kind-
ne-ss of his master. The old system of
drawing " race horses required t'.iat the
trotter should lie Ifth hungry and thirs
ty when he went on the track. The own
er of a trotter not many years ago had
lost the first heat of the rut-, to
his surprisi. and he consulted an ex
perienced friend. " If you w ill ier
me run the horse a I wish," -aid the
friend. " he wiil win the rue." and the.
owner agree.! that he should take the
animal in hand. Well." said the friend.
" the beas. i thirsty, I'll water him."
The horse, which had not been a)!c!
